Fierce winds fanned two fires just east of the Barossa Valley region in South Australia.

One blackened about 2,000 hectares, the other an area of more than 200 hectares.

Hundreds of firefighters have been on the job all day and crews are keeping an overnight vigil.

More than 100 people have attended the meeting after the company went into administration this month, putting the future of up to180 employees in doubt.

Administrators say Penrice could have total debts of $150-$200 million.
